TAMPA, Fla. — Kristers Gudlevskis made 36 saves to win his NHL debut, Eric Brewer scored two goals, and the Tampa Bay Lightning beat the Columbus Blue Jackets 3-2 on Friday night. Ondrej Palat also scored for the Lightning, who took a one-point lead over Montreal for second place in the Atlantic Division. A runner-up finish would give Tampa Bay home-ice advantage in its first-round playoff series with the Canadiens. Boone Jenner and David Savard had goals for Columbus.
